One of Dayton’s largest marketing firms moving downtown

One of the Dayton region’s largest marketing and advertising agencies is moving to downtown Dayton from Vandalia.

TriComB2B on Wednesday announced it signed a 10-year lease agreement for 18,000-square-feet of space at Performance Place, part of the Schuster Performing Arts Center at the corner of Second and Main Streets. The company will bring 31 employees in the move, which is scheduled to happen in the second quarter.

“My partner and I are supporters of both the arts community and the revitalization activities occurring in downtown Dayton,” said John Buscemi, co-owner of TriComB2B, in a statement. “We’re excited about the opportunity to move to Performance Place, the creative center of the downtown Dayton community and are proud to be part of the city’s revival efforts.”

TriComB2b will occupy space across the seventh and ninth floors of the building.

The city of Dayton is supporting the move with a $90,000 development grant scheduled for approval at Wednesday’s city commission meeting.

TriComB2B is the third largest advertising/marketing agency in the region, based on number of employees, according to Dayton Business Journal research. The company also was named one of the DBJ’s Best Places to Work last year.

TriComB2B — which deals exclusively in the business to business marketing of technical products and services — has added more than a dozen new clients and experienced a 25 percent growth in revenue since 2010. The company says moving to downtown will cut its lease costs by more than 10 percent and allow room for growth.
